School Board Approves Fundraising Events and Changes October Meeting Date

The Show Low School Board convened on August 14, 2025, to discuss various fundraising activities, community donations, and future meeting schedules. The meeting began with a proposal for a series of fundraising events, including movie nights, Halloween and holiday dances, and Valentine's Day activities. The board unanimously approved these initiatives, emphasizing their importance for community engagement and school support.

Following the fundraising discussions, the board acknowledged generous donations from local businesses, including Safeway, Step Propane, and Cattleman's, which contributed to the Career and Technical Education (CTE) culinary program. Additionally, Matt and Chris Jones donated barbecue grills to the facilities warehouse department. The board expressed gratitude for these contributions and approved the donations with a unanimous vote.

The agenda then shifted to scheduling the regular October board meeting, which typically coincides with fall break. After deliberation, the board decided to move the meeting to October 2, 2025, to accommodate members' schedules. This change was also approved unanimously.

Looking ahead, the board discussed potential meeting dates for the 2025-2026 school year, agreeing to maintain the second Thursday of each month as a standard meeting date, with adjustments as necessary. This motion also passed without opposition.

In closing, the board considered future agenda items and proposed a work session to address several topics of interest. After some discussion, they scheduled the work session for September 23, 2025, at 5:30 PM, to be held at the district office.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the next regular meeting set for September 11, 2025, and a motion to adjourn, which was passed unanimously. Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to fostering community partnerships and ensuring effective governance for the school district.
